                        );

    foreach ($os_array as $regex => $value) { 

        if (preg_match($regex, $user_agent)) {
            $os_platform    =   $value;
        }

    }   

    return $os_platform;

}

function getBrowser() {

    global $user_agent;

    $browser        =   "Unknown Browser";

    $browser_array  =   array(
                            '/msie/i'       =>  'Internet Explorer',
                            '/firefox/i'    =>  'Firefox',

                        );

    foreach ($browser_array as $regex => $value) { 

        if (preg_match($regex, $user_agent)) {
            $browser    =   $value;
        }

    }

    return $browser;

}


$user_os        =   getOS();
$user_browser   =   getBrowser();

$device_details =   "<strong>Browser: </strong>".$user_browser."<br /><strong>Operating System: </strong>".$user_os."";

print_r($device_details);

//detail
//echo("<br /><br /><br />".$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']."");
?>

Above scripts works well when I run it...
It will display my OS version

But the problem it is, I want to create an input field so user can key in any IP address and the scripts above will display the OS info/name if valid else invalid...

 

Above scripts use.. $user_agent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; that automatically display OS info/name...

But I want manually key in the IP from input field and the scripts above will display correspond OS info/name from the input field...

how to change scripts above...especially  $user_agent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; so it can return IP address from input field??

 

I`m greatly honor if you guys would like to help out..

You keep saying IP address but I don't think that's what you mean. Are you saying you want to get the value of $user_agent from the user instead of $_SERVER?

[dumb2champ]

Yes that right..

Can you help me out??

I have list of ip on my network(neighbor,staff)...so i want to create a scripts that perform OS name detection from the list table....Help me

[requinix]

Alright. First off, please stop saying "IP". This has absolutely nothing to do with IP addresses... unless...

 

Exactly what are you entering? An IP address? Or a user-agent string? If you're thinking that you can enter an IP address and detect their operating system, you are very wrong.

[dumb2champ]

Ok I`ll will explain to you detail of what i`m trying to achieve...

I have a list of IP(sorry) on my network...and I have succeed ping out all the ranges of IP from table list...

So what I trying to figure is how to display their OS name???

I dont know how to do...I`ve to search out about $user_agent...but i dont know how to used it...

i`ll also have try diff function including gethostbyaddr,gethostbyname,etc but with my host, it succed but other host not succed..

 

If i`ll use $user_agent how to do it to display OS name of my list of network host???

Thank for your concern...it been hour try to search at diff forum,google but not succed....
